Download or read book Basic Documents of International Sports Organisations written by Janwillem Soek and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the non-governmental part of international sports law. Included are basic documents of an institutional nature, i.e. the Statutes/Constitutions, etc., of universal sports organisations. Two main categories of universal sports organisations are represented in this work: the international `umbrella' organisations, not limited to any single sport, and the so-called international sports federations which are organised for each branch of sport, insofar as they concern Olympic sports. The collection of documents was realised within the framework of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut's research project on international sports law and with the cooperation of the International Olympic Committee. It provides an invaluable source of reference for both legal practitioners, including courts dealing with sports-related cases, and the academic world. With the increase in public interest in the legal aspects of sports, this collection will prove a timely and welcome addition to the scarce collections of materials already available.

Download or read book How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius written by Nick Greene and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, entertaining deconstruction of basketball, drawing on the expertise of board-game creators, magicians, therapists, and more Basketball is the second-most popular sport in the world—an insanely complicated game built on a combination of athleticism, craftiness, rules, intangibles, and superstardom. However, while it’s enjoyable to watch, the real reason it works is because it’s a game of culture, art, and all the things that make us human. How to Watch Basketball Like a Genius deconstructs the sport from top to bottom and then puts it back together again, detailing its intricacies through reporting and dozens of interviews with experts. These experts, however, are a diverse group: wine critics weighing in on LeBron’s ability to delegate on the fly, magicians analyzing Chris Paul’s mystifying dribbling techniques, cartographers breaking down Steph Curry’s deadeye three-point shooting. Every chapter treats basketball to a multi-disciplined study that adventures far beyond the lines of the court, examining key elements of the sport from some surprising and revealing angles. There’s a reason it has conquered the world, and every game is a chance to learn about pop culture, fashion, history, science, art, and anything else that bounces our way.

Download or read book Rules of Play written by Katie Salen Tekinbas and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An impassioned look at games and game design that offers the most ambitious framework for understanding them to date. As pop culture, games are as important as film or television—but game design has yet to develop a theoretical framework or critical vocabulary. In Rules of Play Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman present a much-needed primer for this emerging field. They offer a unified model for looking at all kinds of games, from board games and sports to computer and video games. As active participants in game culture, the authors have written Rules of Play as a catalyst for innovation, filled with new concepts, strategies, and methodologies for creating and understanding games. Building an aesthetics of interactive systems, Salen and Zimmerman define core concepts like "play," "design," and "interactivity." They look at games through a series of eighteen "game design schemas," or conceptual frameworks, including games as systems of emergence and information, as contexts for social play, as a storytelling medium, and as sites of cultural resistance. Written for game scholars, game developers, and interactive designers, Rules of Play is a textbook, reference book, and theoretical guide. It is the first comprehensive attempt to establish a solid theoretical framework for the emerging discipline of game design.
